Eating Raw Eggs 06:11 In Japan, it is customary to eat raw eggs over rice. Therefore, eggs distributed in Japan are sanitized so that they are safe to eat raw. 3. Cleanliness of common areas 03:27 Hotel staff regularly cleaned common areas and shared items such as massage chairs. 4. Flushing Sound Effect 08:49 This is not limited to this hotel, but many toilets in Japan are equipped with such facilities. We can use it to cover our pee sound with its water sound. Many Japanese people feel embarrassed about their pee sound, so they use it to protect their own pride. 5. Sleeping Pods 09:15 Capsule rooms are not equipped with locks. However, there are surveillance cameras outside the capsule rooms to ensure your safety. There are no cameras inside the capsule rooms, so privacy is also ensured. Thanks for watching as always!

You could have this in the USA, except that everything would have to come from vending machines so people couldn't steal extra. Although this assumes a capsule hotel would be popular and a viable business when most Americans are used to having their own rooms. You'd also have a noise problem for the same reason, and because of fat people with sleep apnea and snoring. I think it would have to start out as only one floor of a hotel and a cheap alternative to the normal room. If it was popular and viable they could expand it in the future. From a 2016 article I found, most hotels are dropping amenities like pools, smoking rooms, room service, and spas. Although gyms were increasing in popularity. What better way to bring back a bunch of amenities than to lower costs with capsules?

@carterman1043 ай бұрын
@@verak66 The reason why raw eggs in Japan are considered safe is due to strict hygiene control and quality management. The main factors are as follows: 1. Strict Hygiene Control In Japan, strict hygiene standards are set for the production and distribution of eggs. The health of the chickens that lay the eggs is regularly checked, and measures to prevent infections are thoroughly implemented. Chicken coops are also meticulously cleaned and disinfected to maintain an environment that suppresses the growth of pathogens. 2. Thorough Management of Salmonella Salmonella bacteria are a major cause of food poisoning related to raw eggs. In Japan, efforts to prevent Salmonella infection are strengthened. The chickens, their feed, and the hygiene of the coops are strictly managed, significantly reducing the risk of Salmonella infection. Furthermore, eggs are washed, disinfected, and inspected before shipment to minimize the risk of contamination. 3. Fresh Distribution System In Japan, the time between when eggs are laid and when they appear on store shelves is very short, and they are distributed quickly. This ensures that eggs are always delivered to consumers in a fresh state, which reduces the risk of food poisoning. Additionally, the expiration date is clearly indicated, allowing consumers to purchase and use eggs with confidence. 4. Cold Storage Eggs are distributed and stored under appropriate temperature control, especially under cold storage conditions. Cold storage helps prevent the growth of bacteria, such as Salmonella, contributing to the safety of eggs. These factors combined create an environment in Japan where raw eggs can be safely consumed. While in many other countries, eating raw eggs is not recommended, Japan’s strict management system allows raw eggs to be commonly enjoyed at the table.

This capsule hotel is not well known even among Japanese. I was very surprised when I first found it. It is a little more expensive than other capsule hotels, but much cheaper than ordinary hotels, and very cost-effective. Definitely recommended. The beds are much larger than those in other capsule hotels, there are several kinds of shampoos and treatments, even though it is a hotel for men, there are many kinds of lotion, milky lotion, toothpaste, perfume, deodorant for clothes and even pillows to choose from. This hotel is part of a chain, and in addition to Kyoto, there are also branches in Tokyo and Nagoya. At the Ogikubo branch in Tokyo, you can see the crowds in the public baths and restaurants from your bedroom, which was also convenient, and the free food was curry, which was delicious.

This video has slipped through my fingers while exploring all your video's a while back, so i got to see it eventually. This place is definitely my kind of place. Not because of the free offerings, or because of low prices when staying longer time, but because of the music playing in the back. I noticed that many places you visit in your videos play jazz music. That makes me happy and want me to visit Japan even more, cause jazz music in public places you never ever hear where i live in the Netherlands. I could stay in this capsule hotel for months. And on the process free food and alcohol....Heaven to me!

Here, Americans, read this: 1. He’s obviously filming mostly in the middle of the day, so the hotel is empty because people are out working or doing activities. Presumably he did this intentionally to avoid bothering people. 2. Eggs are treated in Japan with a cleaning agent before going to market, so eating them raw is entirely safe and common. 3. Basic foods in Japan are quite cheap. It’s not uncommon to get a big bowl of ramen with pork and egg for about 600 yen (about $5). People in Japan won’t stuff themselves on free food so the costs of the free stuff is probably around $5 a day per guest. Japanese businesses aren’t burdened with nearly the regulations and taxes as the US, so they don’t need as high of margins. With a large number of guests in a small footprint, this hotel will do just fine.

@tiffanieqaisar74872 жыл бұрын
@@remyllebeau77I agree with you! People automatically assume that it’s so inexpensive when in fact it’s a very high price and obviously no matter how clean it appears, but I can imagine the people if they stay there would absolutely wreck their health long term! Japanese are known for their preference of privacy because they are statistically on average population of elderly people. Think about 40% of the elderly population who probably still prefer rural areas as the the only the young population is forced to share tiny flats en masse as they study and work at all hours in the city and live inside their universities and workplaces and don’t have time to utilize such locales and more likely would stay over on holidays or breaks. But even those folks have to return back to the farm or family homes to care for their aged parents and relatives whom they likely support. I can imagine why the birthdate is terribly low here, because the culture is so highly developed -in fact over developed, that they have to invent machines for their service jobs for basic survival. And they are so overly open about sex in their anime culture that I can see the major repression on the subject. But this is merely my idea of the society there and not an opinion just based on my personal study of the country itself as I am obsessed with anthropology and sociology. Places like Japan and Sweden are so oddly similar in their isolated nature yet see how totally opposite but both are identical in their love of nature and nurture like yen and yang. It’s really remarkable how they manage to be so green and to keep clean and recycle. Cleanliness is after all key in good health, good appearance, and not materialistic but aimed at a balance in life comfort. Used to be everyone wanted a Swiss bank account and to retire on beachfront mansions but now they are spending less on housing and cars and soooo much more on comfort and how to be as lazy as possible. They have figured out how that Rolex third copies are just junk and hopefully they will go back to family life as it used to be rather than killing their children to retire in obscurity! I see this is off topic but more and more of an issue that modern science is overpopulating the planet and the sick are getting sicker but living in misery longer and longer! Who will be left to care for them if the robots malfunction or tomorrow we lose internet???? Is anyone thinking forward? I don’t see it happening and this really worries me. A disturbing pattern and now pandemic, wars, and slavery is what we are only seeing! Less and less US and so much more ME. So much that we are losing our self awareness and identity socially and becoming so isolated that laws are systematically corrupt all across the board except for remote locations like Siberia and it has to change soon and come to world peace if we want to see our children have children of their own in future! Ok off my speech now!!!! I just theorize and philosophize all day so what do I know, though? Love from the Wild West in the USA. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
